AN: This is the last chapter and also my favourite. This is when they leave at the end through the door. PC movieverse.


The wind picks up as she turns to the door Aslan created to bring them back. The crowd is silent and she sneaks one last look at her friends and Aslan, before following her siblings through the door. It feels like walking through a veil, a ripple in time. Then she's standing at the platform again, her hair in two tight braids and her body back in her immaculate school uniform. Quickly turning, desperately looking for Aslan, but all she sees is the people on the platform. They're milling about doing what they did before. It's like they never left.


It's the seconds before they start moving that's the worst. The seconds where they are only standing in the courtyard, looking at the friends they are leaving behind. Tears pool in her eyes and she is desperately gulping down Narnian air, every breath feeling like the last. Then Peter catches her eyes and nods in that final manner that says it's time to go. When he moves, she will follow because that is what she has always done. She will leave in a dignified manner. She will leave as Queen Susan. And she will not let them see her cry.


It's silent. The wind blows up and grips at his hair, Narnia's last attempt to make him stay. He shakes his head and turns to the door that's to bring him back to England and being a schoolboy. He knows he has to be the first to go. That's the way it's always been- they will follow as long as he leads. He catches Susan's eyes and he nods. She closes her eyes and moves her head in a small acceptance. Their time is up, they have to go. The wind tussles his hair, and without looking back, Peter leaves.


He looks around for the last time. The hills are different and the rivers don't run the same, but it's still Narnia. His heart aches at the thought of leaving. It's the end of an era, because the next time he'll be here, Peter won't. And even though he has an unspoken promise of returning one day, Edmund has a nagging feeling that he will never be here again. Peter motions with his head and then they're walking through the door. He coughs at the unexpected change of air and suddenly he's back in England. Everything is different and nothing's changed.


The End.
